You may wondering, what is french door? And why it’s called french door?
Back in the 1600s, the French people already had this great idea that can open a sunny passageway from the living room or see your garden from the kitchen while allow more light and air going through.
In French, they are called portes-fenêtres which means “windowed doors”or “door-sized windows”. Because the Renaissance was greatly influenced by Roman architecture, there was a strong emphasis on light. It is said that the name comes from the fashion of building palaces with ground-floor galleries with rooms on one side and pillars on the other (in imitation of Roman villas. The gaps between the pillars are filled with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the parts that open are tall enough to step through.
These huge opening windows became known as french doors over time.
French door (n.): A light-weight door, generally one of two, having glass panes that run the length of it.
Today, French doors come in a wide variety of styles, from uninterrupted panes of glass to ones crisscrossed with diamond-shaped grids. But no matter how the technique is improved, it still focuses on two things: light and air.
